Sad news.

I thought he was the last remaining Band member, but apparently Garth Hudson is still alive and kicking at 86 years old.

I was always team Levon, but this is sad. The Band is one of my favorites. The Last Waltz is an annual watch for me.

I'm not a huge fan of The Band, but The Last Waltz is a must-watch. A perfect concert movie, capturing a unique musical experience.

Just saw this. His "Robbie Robertson" album is one of my top 2 or 3 favorites from 1987, and that's saying a lot!
